Eastern Tasmania Surf Forecast by Craig Brokensha (issued Monday 5th June)

Best Days: Wednesday morning south magnets, similar Saturday morning

Recap

Tiny waves after the swell seen later last week, with clean conditions. Similar conditions were seen today with no decent surfing options.

This week and weekend (June 6 - 1)

This week's swells will be of low quality, generated by frontal systems pushing up from the Southern Ocean, past our east coast and further up into the Tasman Sea.

Tomorrow's change won't be overly strong but it will be persistent, with a fetch of 20-25kt S'ly winds projected up through our southern swell window from midnight tonight until tomorrow afternoon.

With this we should see south facing beaches building to a messy 3ft+ tomorrow afternoon along with gusty SW tending S'ly winds.

The swell should then ease quickly Wednesday from 2ft+ at south magnets with lighter more variable winds.

Into Friday, another strong S'ly change is expected, but this will see less favourable S/SW winds produced through our southern swell window for a shorter period of time.

With this we'll see less size, with a late pulse in S'ly windswell Friday afternoon to 2ft with S'ly winds, easing from 2ft Saturday morning with better W/SW offshores.

Longer term we may see some small E/SE swell spreading out from a deep Tasman Low forming over the weekend from Friday's cold outbreak, but more on this Wednesday.
